PAPERS AND PRESENTATIONS

BOOK REVIEW

Write a 1500-word review of one of the books from the list below. You may also choose a book outside the list in consultation with the instructor. You will be asked to post a short outline (two- pages single-spaced maximum) or PowerPoint (10 slides maximum) under Discussions on the bCourses site by 9 a.m. the day of the appropriate class session (depending on the book), give a 5-10 minute presentation during that class session, and then submit the written review via bCourses by 5 PM that Friday. For the outline or PowerPoint, you should summarize the argument, compare/ contrast the book to other course readings (especially the readings for that week), and then offer your own critique. For the presentation, focus on situating the book in the context of the course and presenting your critique. For the paper, focus on analysis/ critique rather than summary, and develop one coherent theme rather than providing a “laundry list” of comments. Please post the paper under Assignments on bCourses. Please submit your top two choices for books to review via email by 9/9. Check access for your book as soon as possible, and purchase if necessary.

FINAL PAPER

Write a 6000-word review essay, addressing writings on a specific topic within the field of comparative political economy. There is no specific minimum or maximum number of books and articles to be covered in this assignment, but you should identify multiple perspectives and review some of the best works on the topic. Integrate some of the required readings from the syllabus with a selection of works beyond those readings. The additional readings may or may not include items from the book review list.

One alternative: Write a 6000-word research design on a topic of your choice. Begin with a clear empirical puzzle, then present two or more hypotheses based on theories/ perspectives from the course plus any relevant secondary literature, and then present a research design to test the hypotheses more definitively.

For either assignment, you should consult me about your topic early in the semester. The due dates are as follows: one-paragraph proposal 10/30 (required, to be posted under Discussions on bCourses), full draft 12/4 (strongly encouraged but not required), final draft posted to Assignments on bCourses by 4 PM on 12/14. Please single-space all assignments.

bCOURSES READING MEMOS

Write a short (200 words maximum) memo on the week’s readings and post it under the appropriate topic under Discussions on the bCourses site by 9 AM the day of class any 8 weeks during the semester. Make sure to read your classmates’ memos before class. The memos may take a variety of forms: 1) a critique of one or more of the readings, 2) a comparison/ contrast of two or more authors, 3) questions about the readings, 4) a proposal of a topic for class discussion. Given the short length, you may write the memo in outline or list form. Feel free to experiment. We will discuss some of the memos in class. BOOKS FOR REVIEW
